Bullet Journal Trackers

by

Trackers help you stay on top of your goals and keep track of anything from money saved to pounds lost.

The sky is the limit when it comes to creating whatever trackers you want, but here are some of the most common:

  • Weight loss
  • Steps taken per day
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Menstrual cycle
  • Money saved
    • Is there something you’d like to save up for? A vacation, a house, a car… perhaps a new computer? Or perhaps you’d just like to build your savings up to create a safety net? You can use your bullet journal to create a money tracker to remind yourself of your savings goals, and keep track of them.
  • Money spent
    • Tracking money spent is also quick and easy to do in your bullet journal. I myself track all the money I spend on my blog/business in my bullet journal, which helps me enter that information into my accounting software (which I hate opening up because it’s boring) at a later time. Tracking your spending is a great idea for students and anyone who’ wants to live on a budget.
  • Student loan/Debt payments
    • Having debt is no fun, but many finance experts say that making a visual tracker can help you feel motivated to pay it off more quickly. Seeing the progress made as you continue to pay off a debt will inspire you to keep going. You can create a special debt payoff tracker in your bullet journal to do just that.
  • Social media followers or posts
    • A social media tracker is where you can track your follower growth on all the social media platforms you participate in. It’s great for anyone (like myself) who is working on long-term blogging or business goals where social media growth is beneficial.
  • Cleaning
    • So, most people don’t like cleaning that much. We mostly do it when we notice we have to, or when we have guests coming over, ya? A bullet journal cleaning schedule can help you keep your home in better shape by reminding you of when you last cleaned something. It’s a daily, weekly, or monthly plan you can refer back to to stay on track with whatever you feel is a manageable cleaning routine for your home.
  • Sleep
    • Another thing many people wish to improve in their lives is the amount of sleep they get. I know I am! A bullet journal sleep tracker will help you learn about your sleep patterns and encourage you to make adjustments. Once you start tracking your sleep, you may realize that you’re getting much less sleep than what you thought. Reviewing the tracker should make it easier to see where you can try to make improvements.
  • Other habit trackers
    • There are a million and one things you could potentially track in your bullet journal. Some ideas are:
      • How much water you drank
      • If you exercised, for how long/what type/what you focused on, etc.
      • What foods you ate, whether you met your daily caloric or macro targets
      • Whether you abstained from drinking alcohol, coffee, smoking, or anything else you’re trying to give up
      • Whether you took your vitamins or daily medication
      • If you or your child gets sick, it’s a good idea to keep track of things like temperature, medications given, vomiting, etc in a special log. You can bring it to the doctor if needed, so they have a clear picture of the sickness.
      • If you suffer from chronic illness, what symptoms you’re experiencing
      • Your mood. Keeping a mood tracker in your bullet journal can help you avoid getting into depression. If you notice that your mood is starting to fall for a day or two, you can recognize the downard trend in your tracker and take action with some self-care.
      • Everything having to do with pregnancy – ttc, mood swings, food aversions, morning sickness, baby kicks, name brainstorming, appointment dates.
      • Baby & pets – if you need to keep track of their feeding schedule, dirty diapers, or days without accidents.
      • Anything you want to practice daily, whether it be meditation, drawing, piano, brush lettering, reading, foreign language, kendama skillz, or just using your bullet journal!
      • Menstrual cylce. Even if it’s for no other reason that to know when it’s coming and be prepared!
      • And more! Use your imagination and think of all the things you could benefit from tracking in your bullet journal.
